I’m so tired of the framing of “unarmed” Black people. There is never justification for police to kill with impunity. We deserve to live. All of us.

The police need to stop killing *all* of us. Full stop. https://t.co/vy4SzpHC4B

The same reporter @cherylwt found that a @detroitpolice ofr was involved in 5 shootings. 3 were off duty + 2 on duty. Each time he was let off including one in 2017 when he fatally shot a 19 yr old Black teen in the back. She found out that the 1st person he called was his union. https://t.co/e7XatFYeqq

7 bullets in the back and no charges. 7 bullets. In the back. And no charges.

Not charging the officer who shot Jacob Blake is a green light for police across the country to continue devaluing, dehumanizing, and destroying Black lives.

We need justice.
